Have you talked to Esther yet?

[guardianed]

I have, yes. She told me she was fine with you two joining the force.

[inurfais]

I had a feeling she would be.

[guardianed]

Did you now.

[mottoaiokomete]

Another curse so soon? Thankfully I remain unaffected this time~.

[guardianed]

You again.

Lucky you.

[mottoaiokomete]

More candid today, are we, Hawkeye?

Yes, it is me again. Pa~pi~llo~n. ♥

[guardianed]

That's really not any of your concern.

Believe it or not, I do recall your name.

Three trials at once, this'll be a test. We'll need to find more lawyers. Even if Styles is committed to the Dornez one I'm not sure he can handle another at the same time. I'll have to remember to ask him if he knows anyone else, without picking a fight, there certainly can't be that many lawyers in the City, which is definitely a good thing.

Hmn. Sorry about that.

I doubt they'll happen all at once, all things considering. Walter's case seems to have stalled for whatever reason, Ophelia's I think was scheduled for sometime soon, and Alexis Hargreaves...might take some time to compile all the information, we'll need to talk to Cain Hargreaves and his compatriot some more. But you're right, it's still a test of the system, considering how many trials there have been up till now.

There's also Mr. Edgeworth's detective agency that's asked for official affiliation a while back now, I believe they're headed by a group of lawyers.

...No need to apologize, I'm just as guilty as you are on that count, I think.

It's good to hear that the police force is reaching resolutions with criminal activity. Finally, it seems like we have a good amount of control over things.

There is something that's bothering me though. What plans are in store for Ophelia?

And it's at times like these that we can't afford to get sloppy, else it can all fall apart. But I'm glad to see that we're pulling dangerous people off the streets as well.

Ophelia is to be detained in the prison until the date of her trial for murdering Anita Blake. Beyond that, I cannot say. She was imprisoned once before, before my time as Chief of Police, and as the trial system has not seen much use up until now I can't give you a more definite answer on what that might result in.

If we managed to get this far, then I hope we can keep is all together without something bad happening. A lot of hard-working people are devoted to keeping things in order, so I have faith in things staying controlled.

That is alright. I was just curious, more or less. Someone such as her constantly keeps me on edge, which is why I'm interesting to see how her case goes, from start to finish.

I would hope so. But it's not necessarily things within the force that need to be guarded against, unfortunately.

You're not the only one. But in this case I'm sure it'll be fairly easy for you to follow along- Ophelia was never one to do things quietly.

It looks like the prison and courthouse are going to be rather busy presently.

Hopefully this goes better than the last time we had the prison so full, right after the subway bombings and then all of them fell out of the city and came back in again. And oh crap, that's a bloody lovely thing to just suddenly bring up out of nowhere--

I always hate this curse.

[guardianed]

So it does, yes.

...Subway bombings? Ahh, no, I remember those, it was right as Kimblee got here, and it seemed like his style. I wasn't with the force at that point in time, I don't think.

...It's far more of an intrusion than I would like. And watching my words is difficult enough, today I have to watch even my thoughts.

[bright_shield]

It was awhile ago. We had a bunch of quite a few different people brought in for separate cases at the time, which is what reminded me of what's going on now.

I don't think most people are used to needing to have such tight control on their private thoughts. Not even the mental concentration needed to control a True Rune back home... it's ridiculous. But luckily it seems to be mostly surface things leaking out, at least.

[guardianed]

I see. So the trial system isn't quite as unused as I had thought. Or did they not make it all the way to a trial?

It's one of the few things I have to myself, at home, it seems sometimes- Nn, yes, it just takes ...a little more concentration.
